Kenneth stood up with dark circles under his eyes as he prayed eagerly.

I hope Brother Minhyuk did not go back yet!

He had prayed tens of thousands of times but he had never been so desperate before. And once he met Minhyuk...

“Athellujah!”

“......Yes?”

Athellujah was a word that those who serve Athenae used to praise him. In reality, one could say that it was the same as the word hallelujah.

“Brother Minhyuk.”

Kenneth squeezed Minhyuk’s hands as his eyes sparkled brightly.

“What’s wrong?”

“That...... the one you made for me yesterday...... do you have that tofu steak?”

“Ah. Yes.”

“I want to eat it one more time, what should I do? Ah! I’ll pay you as much as you want!”

Kenneth’s eyes sparkled brightly. He was so eager that he looked like he was a drug addict. Then, Minhyuk said to him......

“Aaaaah~ Wait~ But I’m a bit busy......”

Minhyuk drawled out his words as he smiled deep inside.

Everything is going according to plan!

He bounced in happiness and along with his bounces, Kenneth fidgeted in his spot.

“Y, you’re busy?”

“Yes. I have to listen to the harp played by the priests, lie down and eat potato chips...... hmmm......”

“......C, can you not do that?”

“I’m sorry.”

“How about 1 million gold?”

“I have a lot of money though?”

Kenneth turned restless when he heard Minhyuk’s words.

Aaaaaah! My goodness! I can’t even eat even if he’s right in front of me!!! How can this be?

Kenneth agonized over the things that he could offer. Then, he opened his trembling lips before speaking.

“Ble, blessings...... Do you want to be blessed?”

“What?”

“The priest’s blessings!”

Back then in Valkyrie Kingdom, Minhyuk made a bet with Priest Eidni and ended up receiving a priest’s blessing. At that time, he was able to get as much as 100+ increase in his holy power. In order to receive a priest’s blessing, users must complete an ‘A’ ranked quest. But Minhyuk was being offered such a reward just for a single dish.

“I’m a bit busy but... Call!”

At the restaurant, Minhyuk was cooking. However, this time, he was not cooking the tofu steak that he had cooked yesterday.

Meat was a truly delicious ingredient but vegetables could also taste as good as meat. Furthermore, Minhyuk’s superb and extreme cooking skills as well as his high DEX could guarantee the deliciousness of the food.

“What’s this smell?”

“Oh, it’s the smell of cheonggukjang......”

The users were in a buzz while Kenneth admired the dish in front of him.

“Today’s dishes are cheonggukjang and bean sprouts bibimbap.”

“There should be no artificial seasoning. Brother.”

“Don’t worry. It doesn’t contain any artificial seasoning.”

Everything was made by Minhyuk himself and he did not use any artificial seasonings at all. Kenneth thought that the smell was quite nasty. Then, a bowl of piping bean sprout bibimbap as well as cheonggukjang was placed in front of him.

‘Why does this dish smell so bad?’

I’d rather you eat tofu steak!

In front of Minhyuk, the cheonggukjang and bean sprout bibimbap were also placed down.

“Follow me.”

“Yes.”

Minhyuk moved his spoon and chopsticks towards the earthen pot that was filled with cheonggukjang. Minhyuk personally liked having plenty of tofu in his cheonggukjang so he placed quite a lot inside the dish. It was even tofu that was made by grinding soybeans in the Lightning Millstone.

His spoon clattered loudly as he cut the tofu and cheonggukjang out of the pot. The pristine white tofu together with some beans from the cheonggukjang and the savory soup all entered his spoon. Then, he placed it on top of the piping white rice before mixing the tofu and cheonggukjang together. Kenneth imitated his movements awkwardly. Then, Minhyuk took a spoonful and placed it in his mouth. The same was true for Kenneth.

And Kenneth, who was skeptical about the taste of this nasty smelling dish, ate a spoonful. As soon as the spoonful entered his mouth, he could hear a heavenly harmony playing in his head.

A~thellujah, A~thellujah, A~thellujah~

“D, delicious. How can something with this terrible smell taste like this...... the, the rice. I want to keep eating rice.”

“Yes, Brother!”

“Yes, Brother!”

“Yes, Brother!”

“Do you believe in me?”

“We believe in you!”

The priests nodded fiercely. Then, Minhyuk started to move towards the Saint’s sword. As soon as he moved, the users began to whisper and create a buzz.

“The guy with that tattered helmet is trying to pull out the Saint’s sword?”

“I heard that there are more than a thousand challenges each day, what’s the big deal with that?”

The users acted the same as usual. In fact, they were all new faces. After all, it was rare for users to stay in the temple for a long time like what Minhyuk did. Who would even stay for a week in the temple just to see the museum? This was the reason why they did not know about what happened with Minhyuk.

“Heok......! Did you see the priests giving him water?”

“Crazy......! The priests of Athenae are all at Lv450. They also ignore every one who tries to talk to them every day. But you’re telling me that they’re offering water to that guy?”

“Who the hell is that user?”

The users began to make a fuss as Priest Kenneth handed Minhyuk a cold glass of water.

“Haha. Our leader...... No, Brother. Please drink a glass of cold water.”

“Ah. Thank you. Kenneth-nim.”

Minhyuk smiled brightly as he slowly stood in front of the Saint’s sword. Then, he slowly grasped the hilt.

“But it’s still not moving~”

“Yeah. No way~ If it moves then I’ll give you my hands.”

“It did not even move when the child of Bavecka, Julian, challenged it before so it doesn’t make sense. I bet that guy can’t do it.”

“What if he pulled it out?”

“If he can do it then I’ll shave my head and become a priest here.”

“Oh~ You~ Didn’t you just get out of the army not too long ago? What if you lose your hair again?”

“Only speak about things that make sense.”

All the users were saying that it was impossible and ridiculous. But then, one user spoke.

“But why are we talking about the sword moving, and not the sword being pulled out?”

“The Saint’s sword is a symbolic treasure of the Athenae Religion. If you pull it out then it will be yours so how can the operators give it to us easily? It’s basically ridiculous if someone is able to move it. Athenae has made it impossible to pull that one out. The Saint’s sword is literally a sword that can’t be pulled out.”

It was a fact that Athenae has declared that it would be possible to move the sword. However, they believed that it was not yet possible for the users to pull it out. Minhyuk was aware of this fact too.

As soon as his hands held the hilt of the sword, the notifications rang in his head.

Minhyuk also exerted some strength to try and move the sword. But all he did was exert a bit of strength and the sword got pulled out.Findd new stories at novelhall.com

“Eh?”

Then, a bright light flashed from the Saint’s sword as it began to envelop the entirety of the Athenae Temple. The sword radiated a light that shone brighter than any other light in existence. Then, a world message rang loudly in the entire continent.

At that moment, an unidentified voice suddenly shouted at him.

“Why did you pull it out!!!”

Minhyuk turned his head and saw a woman dressed in a white, pristine priest robe by the railings of a tall building. Minhyuk was left in a fluster. He was told that he could move the Saint’s sword but he was not told that he could pull it out.

“Ah! That’s right! It moved at my touch. Wait! Sorry!”

Then, he rammed the sword back in.

“Cr, crazy......!”

“OMG?”

“N, no. Why did you put it back inside!!”

“Ah. All right!”

Minhyuk thought that she was weird but nevertheless he still pulled it out again.

“Keok!”

“......”

“......”

“......”

All of the users in the area were left speechless.

Meanwhile, Kenneth who was standing behind him was thinking about something else.

‘As expected of the leader of our Minhyuk Religion. Minhyuk-llujah!’

Notes

Cheonggukjang (청국장) - food made by fermenting soybeans.

TL’s corner!

LOL. Minhyuk-llujah! Hahaha. Will there be a Food God/Minhyuk temple soon?

PR’s corner!

Yes. Just yes. This is just so ridiculous. I start to see why Minhyuk’s dad is so successful.
